What is New?
We would like to WELCOME our newest cook who recently joined our TEAM…Travis Paulin! Welcome aboard! Travis has impressed our residents with his Creamy Mixed Veggie Soup (onions, peas, carrot and peppers cooked in milk/cream, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika and parsley flakes) served on our lobster day.
One of our long-standing cooks Sheila Rose, has recently created a new Vegetable Blend Salad for our residents to try and it was a BIG hit! This consisted of a mixture of broccoli, cauliflower and carrot tossed with a homemade dressing of vegetable oil, vinegar, sugar, ketchup and paprika!
New items on the menu – we recently added a new Smooth Cottage Cheese! This item is high in protein, smooth and creamy for residents needing pureed textures and comes in three delicious flavours: Lemon, Vanilla Bean and
Caramel. They are absolutely delicious!
As requested from our residents… we have added a Waldorf Salad to our menu this month! A blend of diced chicken, apple, grapes, raisins, celery, walnuts, tossed in a dressing of Greek yogurt, mayo and lemon juice served on a bed of shredded romaine lettuce!
